Guided Smallmouth Trips in Western North Carolina

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of guiding Steve and his son-in-law Dave on a full day smallmouth bass float trip on the Tuckasegee River. We floated a 5 mile section #15 on the Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail from Barkers Creek to Whitter. The water was still high and off-color from the last heavy rain and the East Fork releases.

Flies and tackle used on the trip included: Various #4-6 Clouser Minnows(Black/Chartreuse, Perch, Dark Olive/Yellow), #6 Black Lead-Eye Buggers and Black and Dark Olive Tube Jigs.
